It is a sports coupe, after all, and people buy sporty cars for two reasons--looks and power. The 2-door Dodge Avenger already had great style and a body that drew comments and envious stares. So why would any model of Dodge Avenger ever come with just a four-cylinder engine?
Sure to make driving enthusiasts happy, the 1999 Dodge Avenger makes amends by throwing out the 4-cylinder in mid-year models and making the V6, 163-horsepower engine standard in both the base and ES versions. Previously, the V6 was only offered as an option on the base model as part of its Sport Package.
The Sports Package still exists, adding ES standard features, such as air conditioning, rear spoiler, 16-inch aluminum wheels, and power windows and locks, to the base version. Aside from some new colors and next-generation dual air bags, the standard V6 is the only major change for 1999.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1999 Dodge Avenger express mixed feelings about their experience. Many appreciate its sporty design, decent power, and good handling, while also noting that it can be fun to drive. However, some drivers feel it lacks sufficient power and performance, with a few even describing their ownership as regrettable. There's a contrast between those who enjoy the car's sporty appeal and those who criticize it for being underwhelming."
Car accelerates very fast, as well as stops almost instanly. Handles like race car. I bought this car used so the build quality isn't the best, it's got a small dent in the driver door, and a missing inner fender well on the passenger side due to a collision, but has been replaced. The car (in my own opinion) looks mean, fast, and aggressive. I've always wanted one of these and it just blows my mind that its sitting in my garage. Gas mileage is so-so. average of 18 mpg, depends on my driving lol. This car is VERY fun to drive. It's wayyy more than i origionally expected.
October 6, 2010Interior is decent, though I have made changes. Have leather seat covers, put in a CD player, laser/radar detector, green light... Exterior red, no dents or scratches. Performance is great!
March 30, 2008this is a very Family friendly car, though its sporty coupe body isn't great for getting friends in the back seats, there is still enough room for your kids, the power is noticable but not over the top, road noise is minimal those in the front seats will find they have more than enough leg room for a 6'5" person. over all the car is strong safe and fun while being conservative and reliable.

May 17, 2008It has very good handling, it looks like a sports car, it gets great gas mileage and I do the maintenance myself. It is a very fun car to drive. Performance could be better but thats what aftermarket is for.
July 21, 2009This is the worst car ever built in the entire world. it looked somewhat cool but performed like an underpowered box. never ever buy a car like this it was not fun at all and very pathetic. if the opportunity arises dont buy this car.
